From 2003 to 2009 he served as Head of the Department of Music, and was previously Acting Head of Department for two six-month periods and chair of the Department's Graduate Studies Committee in 2000-3. He contributes to the MA in Music and Cultural History and his undergraduate teaching focuses on Italian and English music in the 17th and 18th centuries, baroque opera and oratorio, the music of Handel, Vivaldi and Purcell, source studies and music editing. Originally from London, Paul studied for his BMus degree at the University of Sheffield before undertaking his doctoral research at the University of Liverpool, where he began lecturing, publishing, and directing concerts. In more recent years the primary focuses of his work have been on online methodology for musicology, database development, and the founding, in 2005, of the peer-reviewed Journal of the Society for Musicology in Ireland, of which he was the first Executive Editor (2005-9).
